Your Monsterfishkeeping Pet Peeve

[gobucks1]

What is one thing involved in Monster Fish Keeping that is commonly done that aggravates you?

I'll go first, mine is bare tanks

ha......not doing research on the TL of a adult fish and getting a 10 gal tank for it. (ie OSCAR)

People who put big fish in small tanks and don't plan on upgrading because "fish only grow to the size of their surroundings..."

Overhearing employees in pet stores tell people the wrong info.

Similar to many of these mentioned earlier, I don't like all these guys who buy RTC's and shovelnoses for a 125 gallon and when asked where they are upgrading to, it's for their pond. The pond obviously doesn't exist yet, or is outdoors and the person lives in a coldweather area

the 1" per gallon "rule"

My wife always complains about this aspect of my tanks

Not allowed to set up more tanks. I still have a 125G unused...i can only keep 1 tank in the 3 digit gallon range which is already up.
